There is a product called helicoil that is used to replace worn threads in metal. You will probably find it at an auto parts store.

A muffler shop can replace the nut the O2 sensor screws into. A friend of mine has a shop and does it regularly.

If the bolts are in good condition you can re-use them. Examine the threads for nicks or a worn shoulder, make certain that the bolt turns freely into the cam. If you decide to re-use it, make sure that you clean it well and add a drop or two of locktite or equivalent.

The valve blew off your pressure cooker can you replace it?

Depends. Did the threads tear out of the lid? If so, you could possibly drill it bigger, tap in new threads for an adapter and put a new valve in. Just checking, the gauge or the little rubber safety valve? If it is just the rubber safety plug, then yes, it should be possible to replace it. That's what it's there for.
